Menu on the wall as you walk in, one of the 2 doors. The time we were there, we were the only dine-in customers. The place temp was cool and it was smoky. Highly recommend to plan to call in your order & carry out. As for the food....pretty good if you don't mind seasonings. Some may think even spicy. Had the popular jollof rice with lamb shoulder. Hate to say it, but the meat was tough. The rice was spot on. Serving was generous and service was fast & friendly. Would come back again, just not right away.

I'll snap some pictures next time ha

Best Ethiopian food in Columbus! It's so flavorful and they can reduce spice levels if needed. I…read morelove getting their platter that comes with a bunch of veggies and you can choose either beef or lamb. I love their yellow lentils and beef! It's absolutely amazing! The first time I tried this platter I was over the moon. It was a 10/5 tbh and absolutely perfect. I just went there recently and got the lamb which unfortunately was a different experience. It tasted good but was really gummy and I felt like it was not as good as the beef. I would rate this a 3. I'm definitely looking forward to going back! I like that the majority of tables are family style, they offer coffee service and I've always felt the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. When you first enter there's like a bar and dance area but if you keep walking to the right then it turns into a restaurant with tables. I really enjoy this place and can't wait to show other friends and family!

Not a fan of the area as I used to live near there but it's not bad. I walked in and was immediately greeted. I didn't catch her name (which I feel bad for) but she was super friendly. She was talking to me about some of the menu items while she took my order. While I was waiting on my food we talked a little but about the culture and history of where Swahili food came from and her story. I got my order to go. I got a beef sambusa and the chicken white rice. Wow...the food was delicious! I didn't want to stop eating it. The rice was perfectly fluffy, the flavors of the chicken and kale were delightful. the portion was large enough to make two meals out of it. The sambusa was yummy as well. It was an all over delightful experience and the food is tasty.

My very first meal on moving to Ohio!…read more On my way from the airport to the hotel, I was hankering for some good food. Good ol' Yelp popped up Foodateria on my route, and I am so glad it did. The restaurant had a warm ambiance with earthy tones as you walk in. Nothing to write home about with standard tables and chair but one is here for the fare! The gentleman who runs the restaurant kindly suggested the Yetty's Egusi. In my opinion it was the perfect surf and turf (or should I say surf and fluff?) dish. This was a delicious stew with both fish and chicken in it. The stew of spinach (or was that kale?) and melon seeds in palm oil initially left me a little confused wondering if it was ricotta cheese, scrambled eggs, or fish roe. The Chicken drumstick and the fish morsel were deep fried separately then added to the stew later before serving. The chicken was really good with a teeny crust from the frying, and moist and juicy inside, but I have got to hand it to the fish. It was moist, flaky, flavourful, and reminded me of all the river fish I grew up eating. Upon mentioning to the gentleman that I was intrigued by the Fufu, he let me order it as a side (it's not usually served with the Egusi). It was super soft, starchy, with no need to masticate. Had you come here with your gummy teeth, having left your dentures at home, you would have absolutely no problems downing this dish. Had on its own it reminds one of a smooth and creamy mashed potatoes. I enjoyed pinching out tiny morsels of it, dunk it in the sauce, and just let is slide down my chute. PS: I read that it is considered ill-mannered to chew the fufu. One usually swallows the morsel without any chewing. And I can see why. Just crush it up with your tongue against the roof of your mouth to extract its mild flavour and enjoy the creamy texture, and off it goes! It's been a while, and I really need to go back again!
